Be Curious

I learn a lot from my sister, she rocks!  Her name is LaVerna, and she helps me with the tech part of creating my content and getting it out to you.  In our last meeting, she was showing me how to do things, as I shared my computer with her.  She said to be curious, click on buttons and drop downs to see what your options are.  Dang!  That is good advice for learning tech and living an abundant life. Being curious is a pathway to more options.  I love it! Thank you LaVerna! She clicked on various things and was able to find a short cut for something we were working on.

Here is another example: I purchased a Lenovo computer 13 months ago.  Exactly two weeks after my one year warranty expired with them, my screen broke, just by the simple act of lifting up my screen. I purchased the laptop from Costco.  I did not see an additional fee for an extended warranty.  I ASSUMED that because I didn’t see an additional fee for an extended warranty, I didn’t get one.  NEVER ASSUME - it’s the opposite of being curious, and thus closes doors to your possibilities.
So, I was curious, and called Costco Concierge, and while on hold, it said, “we offer an additional one year warranty on many of our electronics, as an added value to you, our customers”! Ha!  So after speaking with a Costco representative, he confirmed I have an additional 1 year warranty! Being curious saved me close to $400.  That was the quote to fix it at a local computer shop.

Alright my fellow sustenance seekers, that’s the recipe for abundant living for today.  Next week, I’ll share one of my favorite recipes with you, that taught me to persevere when things got messy!
